Here are four ways that we can be more positive: Always Give Your Best Effort – If we give our best effort in all that we do and think we will be able to realize what they are truly capable of. Trying hard can lead to more confidence, and help us to develop a positive attitude about the world around us Give Back To Your Community – Volunteering as a family can help us to connect with others. Even activities as simple as helping others, spending time with someone that is lonely or giving to people in need, these acts help us to focus on our community Our actions can make a positive difference in the world, buy helping others we will be more positive about who we are, and about our community. Practice Positive Self-Talk – We need to use gentle words when talking to others. A great way to develop this skill is to talk to ourselves as if we were talking to our best friend. If we wouldn’t say something mean to our best friend or loved one, we shouldn’t say it to ourselves. The way we think directly impacts our behavior and feelings about the world. If we can think positively about ourselves, we will likely feel the same way about the world around us. Take Ownership and Responsibility For our Actions – We all need to realize that we have control over the outcomes of the challenges that we face. Reducing anxiety and practicing problem-solving skills at a young age can have a huge effect on how we think and act for the rest of our lives. Being confident is one of the best ways to help encourage positive thinking. https://dailysantapodcast.com/ (https://dailysantapodcast.com/) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daily-santa-podcast/message

DAY TEN - Be Patient and Wait Your Turn, Santa's Doctor Visits, News and Fun Podcast Suggestions Welcome to Day Ten everyone! We hope this has been elftastic fun for you so far! Candy Cane Cookies have arrived, or have they gone missing? We are going to talk about patience, but you will have to wait for it! Doctor Wait, Santa's family Doctor drops in with some great advice for us at this busy time of the year! Patience is a skill. And like all skills, patience can be learned. Just like learning to walk, ride a bike or playing a piano We can learn patience, and get better at being patient as we work on it The best way to learn patience is to practice patience Patience is not simply the ability to wait. It’s how we behave while we’re waiting. Here are 4 things to consider about patience - talk about these things with your family to see how you can add these to your day ONE - When learning patience, start small just like learning anything, you will not be great at something if you never try little babies are not very patient - when they want something, they want it right now! we have to learn patience - that is a lot of work TWO - We have to learn how to wait for what we want We need to take turns, allow someone to go first, put someone else ahead of us THREE - realize that being patient is hard work We wait for a bus, wait for dinner, wait for our friend to catch up, we do a lot of waiting FOUR - learning patience is not just for adults when we start learning and practicing patience as a child, we will use what we learn as an adult it is no fun to be asked to wait for our turn, but if we can learn how to wait, we will see it pay off in the future So I told you to wait to find out what patience was, didn't I... do you know, that waiting to hear what patience is, that waiting to the end to find out what it is was actually being patient? Patience is simply being calm, realizing that there are other people involved and allowing others time and space at this busy time of year there is very little patience, honking car horns, pushing and shoving, angry responses to people in our way, or doing things that make our day worse - those are the people that need patience Remember you have to learn it patience is not free! See you tomorrow!

Today we talked about 5 ways that we can be a better community member! Here is a project for you to do as a family. One - Do some research with your family and discover one thing that you did not know about the place the community that you live in - just one thing! How old is your community? what is the oldest home in your community - can you go for a drive and find the oldest house in your entire community? Who has the best christmas lights in your community - go and check them out as a family! Two - learn about all the helpers and services in your community - make a list of everyone that you can think of - police, fire fighter, paramedic, doctors, nurses, teachers, letter carriers, the mayor - make a list of all the people who work hard for you everyday! Three - learn about and celebrate your families culture. Where is your family from? What kind of food does your family serve during a holiday, what are your family traditions? Four - Volunteer with a community group - help at the food bank, deliver a meal to the fire station, do something kind for someone as a family Five - take a video or picture of a local landmark together as a family We all come from many different places - some of us have moved from one country to a brand new country - and that move can be very hard on a family. if we can all find a way to make our community stronger we will feel better about our friends and neighbors.
